The caller from Berkley who said that some NRA members have a problem with their masculinity is right on target. I've seen the same thing. I think these people have watched too many John Wayne movies and need to get with modern times.

President Obama has missed having a budget for the fourth year in a row, which is unprecedented for a president.

I think it's ridiculous when people say the troops are fighting for our freedom. They are fighting terrorism and that needs to be known. "Fighting for freedom" sounds ridiculous.

On Feb. 5, one caller said the president wants to abolish the Second Amendment and the Constitution. That's a huge embellishment and really shouldn't have been printed. The actuality is perhaps the president said that it should be amended. I believe that the Second Amendment should be amended, not abolished. That's foolish. Another caller said that the unions are no good and that only somebody who knows somebody in the union would get a union job. That is also false. I hired in to Truck and Bus in Pontiac in 1972. I was not a member of a union, but I gave part of my body, my physical health and my mind for 31 and a half years to earn my pension, and I worked hard for that. I'm a Democrat and I'm proud of what I did there. The only people who got the freebies were the management people. Somebody's brother or mother or sister or little kid would come in and be a manager all of a sudden. Those were the kind of things that were bad for General Motors. Bad management makes for a bad product. Those were the people who were doing all of that. It wasn't the union people, People need to get their facts straight.

Shame on The Oakland Press and the caller from Oxford for a statement that the president of the United States said many times that the Constitution was outmoded and that he would abolish it. I followed every moment of the president's first term and re-election campaign and he never said anything about abolishing the Constitution. This is the type of nonsense that should not print be printed.
